In evidenza
With only a maximum of 25 passengers this makes our Great Barrier Reef & Green Island tour very guest focussed! .In fact we are the only sail, reef and tropical island experience in Cairns catering for such a low guest number . Swim, snorkel or dive straight off the boat onto an exclusive magnificent GBR site - no crowds. The boat is moored just 1Km off Green Island - a highly protected Marine Park zone. From Cairns, sail to this reef site and Green Island in style on a two-mast schooner and enjoy a delicious buffet lunch on board. After snorkelling off the boat take a tender transfer to explore the beauty of Green Island, see the rainforest or laze on the white sandy beaches.

5Great team who made...
Great team who made everyone feel very welcomed and safe. Nice small group, got to know almost everyone by the end of it.
5Remarkable Day
We had the most incredible day sailing out to Green Island, and the crew, Bruce, Yan and Tom truly made the experience outstanding. They were professional, knowledgeable and wonderfully easygoing in a way that created a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere throughout the entire day. Their passion for the ocean really stood out. They shared fascinating insights about the marine life, corals and fish, and you could tell they genuinely love what they do. It added so much depth to the snorkelling and made the whole experience feel richer and more meaningful. The weather was perfect: sunny skies, calm turquoise water and whenever the breeze allowed, we sailed. The food was great too. I don’t usually go in the water, but the team encouraged me. I’m so glad I did it, the snorkelling was beautiful and full of marine life. My husband loved the smaller group in the afternoon even better, which meant they could explore further and see even more. After lunch we were dropped off at Green Island, which honestly felt like paradise, clear water, soft sand, turtles and plenty of time to wander or snorkel again. This tour was exceptional from start to finish and we would recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area.
4Still good on a soso weather day.
We didn't have a great day for weather. Food was really good and plenty of it. Equipment was good quality. Just found the flippers did not fit well on my wide feet. The crew were excellent and very helpful in the water. Glad I snorkelled a 2nd time in afternoon. Only person to go (it was cool and water rough) but saw so much more. Disappointed that we really didn't sail much. I assume since they were trying to keep on schedule the motor was used. Too much for a sailing trip. Overall good tour for the $$.
5100% recommend this small group tour
We had a great day out exploring the Great Barrier reef for the first time. Our teenage son loved his introductory dive. The small group atmosphere was great and the guides Reece and Paul and skipper Bruce (Ambrose) were first class. 100% recommend using this last family owner and operated tour service.
